Glucosamine for Dogs & Cats
Glucosamine is naturally found within the body of animals. It is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan (a molecule used in the formation and regeneration of cartilage and other body tissues). As animals get older the production of glucosamine slows down thus supplementing with Glucosamine is important to help maintain the neccessary levels needed to support healthy joint function whilst promoting mobility, flexibility and aiding stiff joints.
Glucosamine is an essential building block of many parts of an animals joints, including ligaments, tendons, cartilage and synovial fluid. It helps cartilage to act as a shock absorber.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar made from shellfish or prepared in a lab. There are two forms: glucosamine sulphate and glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL). Glucosamine HCL is the highest quality, purest form of Glucosamine, it is more stable and occurs naturally in every living organism. Glucosamine HCL has more pure Glucosamine per gram for aiding cartilage formation.
